What is Reflexology?

Reflexology is a non-invasive, gentle therapy, and is suitable for all ages to maintain wellbeing and help restore the body to a balanced state of health.

Reflexology is the light manipulation of reflex points on the feet to release any energy blockages within the body and help integrate the body’s systems, whilst effecting a state of deep relaxation for the client.

What to expect during a session of reflexology?

During your first session, I will take a short medical history and chat with you about your health, diet and lifestyle and any presenting conditions or ailments you may have.

This typically takes about 15-20 minutes. This information allows me to make a bespoke treatment plan for you.

If you would like to know how I handle client data, please see my privacy notice.

The treatment itself

During a session of foot reflexology you will remain fully clothed but take off your shoes and socks for me to work on your feet. You will be reclined in a very comfortable chair and usually covered with a blanket.

A natural oil, or powder, is used on your feet.

For facial reflexology you remain fully clothed and your face will be cleansed briefly before a gentle, organic oil is applied and reflexology commences.

I will always discuss the use of products with you and make sure you are happy with the choice of medium before application.

The treatment will begin with some gentle relaxation techniques followed by some pressure to each of the reflex points, when you can close your eyes and relax.

After the treatment

Following your session I will make notes so that improvements can be noted at future appointments. All information recorded is treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act and will remain totally confidential.

After your treatment, I will advise you to drink plenty of fresh water to help flush toxins from your body. It is also good to avoid alcohol and eat only light meals.

A typical treatment will last 50 minutes and it is generally recommended that you have 4-6 weekly treatments initially, although reflexology is safe to have more frequently if required.
